An account in Gironde, France

A person testifies by letter that on July 20, 1977, at around one in the morning, while in their car, they and their daughter were able to observe for a few seconds a craft shaped like a saucer. Surrounded by a slightly yellow halo, the craft moved slowly in the sky while rotating on itself and seemed to descend toward the car.
